At first they felt a little stiff but they loosened up quick. The best looking boots you’ll actually enjoy getting dirty. The toe is rounded off evenly and not elongated, so it has more of a rustic look. The top stitching dresses it up, and adds a great contrast to the leather. The black option looks great against a smooth brown rubber (not leather) sole.

Lands’ End Canvas has started to source their denim cotton from the U.S.A. Manufacturing has been kept in this hemisphere (Mexico.) The fit is solid as well. Some guys think the LEC Straights are too trim. But a measuring tape shows they have a little more room than 501s. Not skinny by any means, nor baggy. Stay with the resin rinse.

Will absolutely need tailoring. This is an interesting one because it has no lining and while the marled fabric is mid weight, it feels awfully like an INC ultra light on your body. That’s good. But it’s real boxy off the rack. That’s not so good. It also comes with functioning buttons so that could be an issue. Three button front but the lapels come pre-rolled over to two. Extremely comfortable, but does need some post purchase work. (Post tailoring seen above)

It’s trimmer through the sides but not quite slim. That’s true for most L.E.C. stuff. Lightweight, smooth, and a deeper V than you’d expect which isn’t drastically low. A little darker in person and a great color. 5% cashmere.

Cooler weather doesn’t mean you have to ditch bold patterns. Instead of a black and red buffalo check hunter’s jacket, a washed poplin with that big pattern is a good way to break up all your fall solids. On sale. Button down collar.

The real deal as far as waxed canvas is concerned. Got some muddy water on this while taking the photos, and the water beaded up, even right over the zipper. Good size and nice details. Function first, looks a close second.

Now it’s your turn. Choose your favorite piece from the outfit above and leave your pick in the comments below. One comment will be drawn at random and that person will win the $500 L.E.C. giftcard to buy this, or any other $500 combination of merchandise from Lands’ End Canvas. One entry per person. Deadline for entry is 11:59pm ET. on Thurs. 9/29/11. Good luck!

Overall a really nice outfit! I like the v-neck sweater best, mainly because I really like v-necks, but also because that color brings in the color of fall the the outfit and really compliments the blues well.

It’s a toss up between the blazer and the jeans. I’m going to have to go with the jeans though since they look like they would fit me just how I like. The blazer is the most interesting though. I just hope they aren’t sold out of medium before I win this contest.

Great promotion Joe! I think I’m going to have to come down in favour of the camel sweater too. But even more, it’s the overall combination. The camel and the dark charcoal blazer are a fantastic combination.

Hertiage Jeans are fantastic…In my opinion most underrated jeans out there. I have tried, failed, and wasted money on many jeans. I currently have 7 different rinses all of the hertiage straight. LOVE IT!
Great contest idea also, I think its very very cool lands end is working with you guys with free giftcards not to mention the codes you give us for free shipping and 25% off.

Blazer all the way. I certainly didn’t expect so many people chiming in. Even our lurkers commented today. Everybody and thier mama made suggestions today. Lol. It’s all good, this website is the shizzznit 

While all the items are incredible, I think the bag is a must have. Bags and briefcases are an essential part of any seasonal fashion. Something needs to put an end to the influx of backpacks well dressed are carrying, this could be just the ticket.

I am going to have to go with the BLAZER!! I love the site and it seems that I need to add a BLAZER to my wardrobe from all the write ups and advice. Not only versatile, its light and breathable. A+++++
Good luck to me!

The Lands End Canvas Heritage Straight Fit jeans are really great – I got a pair on a whim with another order and they’ve quickly become my favorite. Not too baggy, not skinny, just right. Bought two more pairs since then. So long 501s.

The boots most definitely, for myself anyways. I’ve never actually owned a proper pair of boots like that, and while I’ve always wanted to purchase some, anything over 100$ is out of my price range right now (college student)

It was close decision between the boots and the trip bag but I think if I had the choice I would definitely go with 1963 trip bag because that is what I need the most at the moment!

By the way, I also own the Marled Blazer from Land’s End Canvas and I must say that I am thoroughly pleased with the purchase. The off the rack fit is pretty good and I was able to get this in store for a fairly good price. With a few small adjustments made by my tailor it may become one of my comfortable go to blazers.

Thanks Joe for always providing an awesome resource for us looking to upgrade our style!

Thanks for running this. I really like the look of the marled blazer as the weather starts to cool down, especially since I take tailoring as a given in most cases. I call it “grown up casual.” I was hoping to invest in a thick, tweedy blazer this year, but blew my clothes budget on moving to New York, so this is as close as I’ll get.

I’m diggin’ on the Buffalo Check Poplin shirt. It’s the same color of a smaller check gingham shirt I’ve been hunting for unsuccessfully, but works perfectly for the fall. Nice outfit Joe, just my style.

Crosby Moc Toe Lace Up will catch a woman’s eye saying, “I’m a
fashionable man”. It will also tell the other man looking at my woman
that I’m not afraid to throw down. Crosby Moc Toe Lace Up says it all!

The Buffalo Check poplin shirt. Looks like I could easily wear this from the office on a friday straight to my weekend campsite. Always loved the pattern, always hated looking like a lumberjack at the office meetings. This is a good middle ground.

Gotta go with the sweater. I own a couple BR sweaters and while they are nice, the size just never worked out. I had to go down a size to make the sleeves work, which left the body looking a like it came from Baby Gap

Marled Blazer. After alterations, this would be a great Fall addition to anyone’s wardrobe. It’s a versatile piece you can dress up for date-night or dress down for Sunday brunch. Truly a wonderful item at $63.99, or free once you win the $500 gift card!

Moc Toe Boots, then marled blazer because of price/value, then the bag. Shirt and sweater are nice, but you can find a smaller pattern on the shirt from j.crew and a slimmer fitting camel v-neck at a lot of stores. LEC has some great looking stuff for fall and winter.

I think for me it would have to be the Crosby Moc Toe Lace Up. Although I would probably go with the Espresso over the black. Browns are much more versatile for me, as I almost never need to go for the higher formality level of black leather. I tend to do the “Country Gentleman” in tweed and brown leather more regularly and those work for me.

I’ve become a big fan of button ups and this patten in particular is great looking. Layer up in the winter for a hint of craziness popping out of your sweater/blazer. Layer down + roll up your sleeves for a casual and yet interesting shirt for the summer.

That 1963 Weekend Bag is awesome. It would be perfect for a trip back home to the Northeast to peep the fall leaves. Although not pictured, I’d rock the Merlot cords from LEC as well as a chambray piece on top…But it’s going to have to remain a dream for now. #ForeveraBrokeCollegeStudent

I have to go with the bag – when everyone’s fighting for overhead bin space, soft-sided bags like these can mash into spaces that rollers can’t. And if they make you gate-check, waxed cotton can stand the abuse.

Buffalo Check Poplin for sure! Great shirt! That said, I’m not crazy about the fit on the LEC sweater I bought last year and it’s kept me from buying more. Not slim enough for me. But I’m sure that with five hundred bucks, I could find something I liked.

I love the buffalo check shirt! If I didn’t already own so many gingham and checked shirts, I would definitely add that one to the collection. I think I need to add some stripes to the wardrobe instead

The Cotton Cashmere V-Neck is so refined in it’s style. The camel hair color is exceedingly rare in the style world but this is certainly one of those sweaters that speak out silently. Now that’s style!

Definitely a fan of the Marl Blazer. Too often the marl look can come off way too much as a Christmas sweater. This blazer hits all the right color levels, even if it does need a little tailoring. As a short guy, I’m used to it 🙂 Keep up the great work, Joe and Crew!

Those boots are made for walkin’ and that’s just what I’m gonna do since I ordered a pair during the recent sale! I went with brown, but the black version is very sharp and can go with so much it’s tempting to get the set.

I have to say what truly makes an outfit are those small touches. As a designer, The Crosby Moc Toe Lace-Up boots is a great mesh of form and function. All too often, we take our time planning an outfit from head-to-ankle, and forget about the toe. Living in Denver, the weather is constantly changing, so having versatility with a good boot is key. If I go out to my favorite watering hole and it starts to rain or snow, these boots would fair the weather and look damn good doing it. The last thing a gentleman should be doing is jumping over puddles on a sidewalk to avoid messing up their wingtips. With these, the only concern will be picking up my lady to help her avoid the puddles. It’s a win-win for any man.

A good boot can take a beating, and constantly look good with its age. We’re gentleman after all, and the Crosby helps us plan for anything.
